Spring cleaning has begun. Out with the old and in with the new. We're sifting through everything in our plans, projects, servers and connections and working on a better, faster, more fantastic version of Big Top Ballet Inc.

It's a little bit of magic cleaning up and letting go. Acknowledging what has worked, what has failed and what didn't get enough 'magic' otherwise known in studio terms as 'productive attention'.

Some changes that we're excited about include: a switch to G Suite services, full domain transfer to Squarespace.com (Thank you, Keanu Reeves! ), and perhaps the biggest change is our Spring move to New York City and becoming an American company. Some of the behind the scenes magic that we wanted to share.

February is the month of Love. With Valentine's just around the corner, we have released a new game titled, "La Vie En Rose". With music by Edith Piaf, fluttering hearts and cupids, this is a mini-game that you can send as a Happy Valentine's or play free on-line!

Just like our original dress up game, match ballerina costume wear to the color of floating heart shaped petals as they float by you spinning ballerina.

It was a delight to launch a teaser release of The Nutcracker by Big Top Ballet featuring 'The Waltz of the Flowers'. Today, January 12, 2017, we draw the curtain to a close until next December 1st, 2017 when we will re-release the title for next year's holiday season.

Which means the on-line and mobile versions are only available during this very special time of the year. We hope you enjoyed our game. We promise to expand on the suite with more magic, more art and more music for next Christmas and New Year's.

If it pleases you, sign up below for the opportunity to play the pre-release version of our update 10 months from today. In the meantime we have some new game releases planned for February and throughout the year.

Thank you!

Here we are on our official teaser release date of The Nutcracker by Big Top Ballet. Featuring the Waltz of the Flowers with Tchaikovsky's composition reimagined into a delightful music box of playful notes by the wonderful and talented Ill-Esha.

Play for free on-line or download the paid mobile version on the App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android. This is a limited availability app until January 12, 2017. Buy the app this year and you will continue to receive annual updates during the holidays where continue to grow the title into the whole Nutcracker suite and adapt content to VR platforms.

We're counting closer to December 1st, 2016. Just 3 days for the Waltz of the Flowers to be available to play free online and as a paid download from the AppStore and Google Play.

This is Version 0.1 of The Nutcracker by Big Top Ballet. We borrowed game play from Big Top Ballet's original game. Doing away with the paper doll costume tabs and adding bonus points for dressing a ballerina all in one colour costume and matching costume colour to changes in snowflakes.

Get the app while you can- this is a limited seasonal release where it is only available between December 1st, 2016 and January 12, 2017. Yearly this will be our Nutcracker launch dates where each year we work to expand the tile and build content for emerging Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality platforms.

We hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays and best wishes for a fruitful New Year!

Game Version 0.1 has been uploaded to Apple for approval. The Nutcracker project is debuting as Big Top Ballet's Seasonal 'digital' act, just in time for the 2016 holidays. The mobile game for iOS, Android and the WebGl versions will be available for a limited time up until January 12, 2017.

We're very excited to be producing The Nutcracker as a seasonal game title. For 2016 - Game Play will be centred on The Waltz of the Flowers and we will be sharing links to the WebGL version and Mobile versions for iOS and Android in time for this coming holiday season.

For now we are sharing some promotional posters featuring the third gift reimagined. If you are familiar with the Nutcracker story, Drosselmeyer brings to Clara 3 gifts. The third of which is a Nutcracker Doll. As is plain to see from the artwork above...we have taken artistic license to re-imagine the doll for 2016.

We are counting down to the first winter frost, when we will unveil Big Top Ballet's seasonal release inspired by The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky. Each year we will build on the prior year's work as part of our game play repertoire.

Again our team is enormously privileged to work with the very talented Ill-Esha, who has worked on a custom composition for the 'Waltz of the Flowers' to debut our annual winter launch.
